fix: requeue on spiffe-helper-config failure, remove from template list

Remove spiffe-helper-config from templateConfigMapNames since it is now
derived from PlatformConfig via ensureSpiffeHelperConfigMap. Make failure
in ensureSpiffeHelperConfigMap set error status and requeue (30s), matching
the SCC binding pattern, to prevent stamping workloads with a stale or
missing spiffe-helper-config.

Addresses review feedback from kevincogan on PR #437.
